355 years before Covid 19, another pandemic swept through Britain. The Great Plague of 1665 killed 100 000 in London - a horrifying 25% of the population - and a further 100 000 in the rest of the country. Medic Xand van Tulleken, archaeologist Raksha Dave and journalist John Sergeant discover extraordinary parallels between these two outbreaks.
